Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Act entitled "An Act to provide for a per capita distribution of Menominee tribal funds and authorize the withdrawal
of the Menominee Tribe from Federal jurisdiction", approved June 17, 1954, as amended, is further amended as follows:

(a) Section 6 is amended to read as follows: "SEC. 6. The tribe is authorized to select and retain the services of qualified management specialists, including tax consultants,
for the purpose of studying industrial programs on the Menominee Reservation and making such reports or recommendations, including
appraisals of Menominee tribal property, as may be desired by the tribe, and to make other studies and reports as may be deemed
necessary and desirable by the tribe in connection with the termination of Federal supervision as provided for hereinafter.
Such reports shall be completed not later than February 1, 1959. Such specialists are to be retained under contracts entered
into between them and authorized representatives of the tribe, subject to approval by the Secretary. Such amounts of Menominee
tribal funds as may be required for this purpose shall be made available by the Secretary. In order to reimburse the tribe,
in part, for expenditures of such tribal funds as the Secretary deems necessary for the purposes of carrying out the requirements
of this section, there is hereby authorized to be appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated,
an amount equal to all of such expenditures incurred prior to the date this sentence becomes effective, plus one-half of such
expenditures incurred thereafter, or the sum of $275,000, whichever is the lesser amount."

(b) Section 7 is amended to read as follows: "SEC. 7. The tribe shall as soon as possible and in no event later than February 1, 1959, formulate and submit to the Secretary
a plan for the future control of the tribal property and service functions now conducted by or under the supervision of the
United States, including but not limited to services in the fields of health, education, welfare, credit, roads, and law and
order, and for all other matters involved in

the withdrawal of Federal supervision. The Secretary is authorized to provide such reasonable assistance as may be requested
by officials of the tribe in the formulation of the plan heretofore referred to, including necessary consultations with representatives
of Federal departments and agencies, officials of the State of Wisconsin and political subdivisions thereof, and members of
the tribe. The Secretary shall accept such tribal plan as the basis for the conveyance of the tribal property if he finds
that it will treat with reasonable equity all members on the final roll of the tribe prepared pursuant to section 3 of this Act, and that it conforms to applicable Federal and State law. In the event the tribe fails to submit a plan approvable
under the terms of this Act by February 1, 1959, the Secretary shall cause such a plan to be prepared and submitted to the
tribe within three months thereafter. The tribe shall thereafter have three months within which to accept the plan of the
Secretary or to submit to the Secretary tribal proposals for modification. If the Menominee Tribe and the Secretary cannot
agree upon a plan within the aforementioned six months period the Secretary shall within the following six months transfer
the tribal property to a trustee of his choice for management or disposition for the benefit of the Menominee Tribe. The responsibility of the United States to furnish all such supervision and services to the tribe and to the members thereof,
because of their status as Indians, shall cease on December 31, 1960, or on such earlier date as may be agreed upon by the
tribe and the Secretary. The plan shall contain provision for protection of the forest on a sustained yield basis and for
the protection of the water, soil, fish and wildlife. To the extent necessary, the plan shall provide for such terms of transfer
pursuant to section 8 of this Act, by trust or otherwise, as shall insure the continued fulfillment of the plan. The Secretary, after approving the plan, shall cause the plan to be published in the Federal Register. The sustained yield
management requirement contained in this Act, and the possible selection of a trustee in the event of a tribal planning default,
shall not be construed by any court to impose a financial liability on the United States."

(c) Section 8 is amended by striking out "December 31, 1958," where it appears, and by inserting in lieu thereof "December
31, 1960".
